Are you a comic book fan? Looking for the next best thing to read? Comic guru, Mike Zapcic, returns to the Pull List to offer his recommendations in comic book reading from this Wednesday’s new releases.

UNWORTHY THOR #1
[Marvel]
“Thor Odinson is still unable to wield his hammer, Mjölnir, due to events too convoluted to go into here (see the AXIS miniseries for more details), but a new opportunity to prove himself has been discovered. Deep within a dead universe comes the ORIGINAL Mjölnir! Unfortunately, Thor isn’t the only one who wants it — he must face and defeat a host of super villains who have their eye on this particular prize.”

NIGHTWING #8
[DC Comics]
“Dick Grayson must use every trick he’s ever learned from his time as Batman’s partner if he’s going to save the Dark Knight from the clutches of Raptor. It seems the Parliament of Owls knew what they were doing when they had assigned Raptor to be Nightwing’s mentor — their inevitable fallout is the match-up to end all match-ups!”

AVENGERS #1
[Marvel]
“Finally, a team deserving of the tagline of ‘Earth’s Mightiest Heroes!’ Captain America! Thor! Vision! Wasp! Spider-Man! Hercules! In the wake of the latest Civil War, these heroes must find the strength to stand together against one of their greatest foes: Kang. And with a story arc called ‘Kang War: Part One,’ it might just be Kang’s time to beat the snot out of the Avengers!”
